Besides brushing, flossing is hard but is mandatory. You can get floss
threaders, but if you can slip the floss under the wire pretty easily
that is fine. Just as long as you can floss between each tooth every
day. Also it should be realized that when under an orthodontist's care,
the patient should still return to the dentist for routine cleanings and
maintenance.
If you have a retainer, biteplate, or another removable appliance scrub
them with toothpaste to clean them each day. You can use baking
soda too, or an effervescent denture cleaner. With the removable
appliances, a common problem is breakage or loss. Common
mistakes are to wrap the appliance or retainer in a napkin as this
"hides" the appliance so it commonly gets thrown away. Also storing
the appliance in your pocket without placing it in its case can result
in the plastic or acrylic experiencing unnecessary force, and then
it can break easily or have wires distort. This can cause teeth to
move. As silly as it may seem, if a pet is in the house, always keep
or temporarily store the appliance out of reach of the pet. Dogs
especially love the scent of their family or food, and can make a
snack out of your appliance.
Misplacing an appliance in its case in a public place such as a
school can cause permanent loss. A simple solution to assist in
return of the appliance is to put your name and phone number
with a permanent marker on the case. Many people participate in
contact sports when retainers, etc. are not worn and with today's busy
schedules, it is sometimes hard to trace where the appliance may
have been lost.
Drs. Hersh and Beattie invite you to join our patient family. Our offices are
located on the border of West Bloomfield/Commerce Township
2300 Haggerty Road, Suite 1160 (248) 926-4100 and in
